I haven't been able to comment on many of these guys songs so just feel my gush..most influential band of my childhood in this genre..I feel worship

Ironic that this old-time song would become the theme song for a movie 50 years later -- "Oh Bother, where Art Thou?" Great performance and autoharp by Mike Seeger!

Mike Seeger a living breathing legend with wings making sure we all lay the best we can . Rest in peace you incredible instrumentalist and singer and reviver and Constant legend. You move me.

Amazing performance of this beautiful song. I'm curious what they're drinking. Milk?

The Seeger family did a lot for Folk Music

I've always considered the Schwartzs to be a part of my family...Anyone who can stand my father must be family! Brothers in Arms, now that's a song I have heard recently.

I find it difficult to play at different tempos. Some people seem to naturally gravitate towards playing and singing at certain speeds. Do you think I should just give in and do whatever speed I like? Or keep trying me brains out to play at a certain bpm?

I like how they pretend he's not about to throw down.

Mike sang this with the same Morgan autoharp at a concert in 1976 that I attended at Crowder Hall Univ. of Arizona-Tucson my Alma Mater. Amazing tone on the autoharp.

The autoharp Mike is playing is on display at the MIM in Phoenix, AZ. It was made by Tom Morgan with the use of Brazilian Rosewood. A brilliant autoharp.

Precious!

Very interesting version. Ironic that the version in “oh brother...” (set in the ‘30s) is touted as being “old time”, when it’s really a more ‘50s country sound

um, good

is that pete segar just sittin and stareing?

By chance I found this orginial from a movie with George Cloony.

Les micros étaient de bonnes qualités à l'époque !

Beautiful! Brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting

So tight !

So THAT'S how you play those things! Now I need an autoharp

Have all the NLCR's albums. Wonderful music.

One of the best versions. I learned this from the NLCR recording.

The very first version I ever heard of this song over fifty years ago was Mike Seeger singing it. It's still my favorite version. Great autoharp tune.

I love Mike's version. I saw him do this live at a house concert once.

That was good but I have to say he could have given the ending more of a resolve. It sounded like he was gonna do another verse

encantado. la cultura siempre andele

The Seeger boys.

My dad had one of the New Lost City Ramblers records. Great stuff!!

It's like Mike was born cradling an autoharp

Tom D, Seeger publicly denounced Stalin as early as 1987. He was a communist until he died, but ultimately said that communists followed Marx about as closely as most Christians follow the Bible. www.nytimes.com/2007/09/01/arts/music/01seeg.html?_r=0

Rainbow Quest was such a great show. One boom mic, no do overs if you made a mistake, a pot of coffee and a bottle of milk and everyone sitting around a kitchen table. Later on the same show, Pete brought out some old home movies of Mike at a family reunion riding a unicycle down the driveway while playing the banjo.

great, great music. can't say how much i love this.

I remember my elementary school teachers using these autoharps to do sing-alongs to children's songs, but they never played them like this!

and a Glass jug of mik

O, Pete we love you forever.

Great!

I attended a concert with Mike Seeger RIP late 60s at Thw Wallace Theatre, Sydney University...never forget.

my band is one of them. we eat sleep and breathe traditional music. it's nearly all we listen to and study.

Well, isn't that nice.

you are welcome!

I attended a concert by Mike in 1976 at Crowder Hall on the campus of Univ. of Arizona in Tucson. He played this song and sang it exactly the way you hear it on this video. He did several encores that night with Jim Griffith and the late Leslie Keith backing them on guitar. GREAT SHOW!!

It's not a dying culture. There's more being done, especially by young people, to preserve music like this than ever before. And thanks to modern technology, people all over the world have the opportunity to listen to and share traditional music.

The Ottawa Folklore Centre sells autoharps. Check them out.

this is not a dying culture....it will be around forever....and i will enjoy it til the day i die.

Had the good fortune of meeting Mike Seeger here in Fresno back in '96 and again in '99. Very sweet and humble guy. One of my best life experiences.

That thing must be a bummer when it gets out of tune...

Dude just ignore modern culture. Make a funny hat an play fiddle in public for free.

New lost city ramblers

A dying culture. It's pretty sad. :( when I think of how such things are viewed by most of modern society, it makes me want to cry.
